Dysfunctional gut microbiota and relative co-abundance network in infantile eczema

摘要

BackgroundInfantile eczema is an immunological disease that is characterized by itchy and dry skin. Recent studies have suggested that gut microbiota (GM) plays a role in the development and progression of eczema. To further evaluate this potential link, we collected feces from 19 infants with eczema and 14 infants without eczema and analyzed the molecular discrepancies between the two groups using 16S rDNA analysis.
